A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Abuse doesn't have to be physical, though. It can also be emotional.
I'm not saying to drop your friends and family at the first signs of negativity. There are people, though, who are not good for you, and nothing you can do can change that. The sooner you figure out who those people are and get them out of your life, the better.
What if they make you feel worse when you're unhappy?
I mean, it looks like we agree that friends should, if not make you happy, at least make your life better in some way. I'm talking about the people who are making your life worse.
What if you don't agree that they're mistakes?
I totally agree with your whole position. This isn't a score keeping exercise. When you spend time with someone, you should feel happy. Not necessarily all the time, but you shouldn't feel drained, angry, sad, anxious, or self conscious the majority of the time. A significant part of your mental health comes from what you do and who you are with. People need to learn what they can handle and set healthy boundaries.

I'm glad I learned this in my younger years.
